Caption

These carriages were often used by a governess (hence the name), or possibly a mother, to take the children out for a drive. She would drive sitting diagonally in the back right-hand corner. Only the quietest pony, or sometimes a donkey, was suitable to be driven to a governess car, not only because of the awkward driving position, but because it was difficult to get out quickly and run to his head if she needed to.

Summary

Governess Car built by Lloyd of Liverpool. Governess Car (two wheels) for a single pony. This is a little governess car of the simplest form for a pony of approx. 10.0 hh. The body is of plank construction with applied mouldings to simulate panelled construction. It has a shallow dashboard on the top of the front board, which has been bent backwards. The carriage has straight wood wings over the wheels fitted hard up to the sides of the body. Painted black livery with red lining.
